<p>Minneapolis, MN - Yisrael Katz, the Israeli politician who wants to name a future Jerusalem train station after President Trump, is well known for a past statement calling for the “civil targeted killings “of activists who advocate for boycotting, sanctions and divestment from the apartheid state of Israel.</p>
<p>Katz, who is head of both Israel’s intelligence operations and transportation, made the statement about the killings at a March 28, 2016 press conference, and has explained the statement as a play on words that was not an actual death threat.</p>
<p>Katz, an opponent of any Palestinian state, applauded Trump’s plans to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.</p>
<p>Trump’s moves to “recognize” Jerusalem as the capital of Israel have served to further isolate the U.S. in the Middle East at a time when the Palestinian struggle to end the Israeli occupation over the entirety of historic Palestine is gaining momentum.</p>
